To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Cabinet Office propriety and ethics team provided the Prime Minister with a substantive report on Labour Together and the conduct of the former Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Digital ID before the Prime Minister referred the matter to the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Cabinet Office propriety and ethics team provided the Prime Minister with a substantive report on Labour Together and the conduct of the former Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Digital ID before the Prime Minister referred the matter to the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards.
I refer the Noble Lady to the answer given in UIN 3796 tabled in the House of Commons, copied below for ease:
“The Prime Minister asked civil servants in the Cabinet Office Propriety and Ethics team to establish the facts in relation to allegations concerning the former Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State jointly in the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and the Cabinet Office.
As has been the case under successive administrations, this process is confidential. Once the facts had been established, the Prime Minister then requested advice from the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards. The Independent Adviser’s subsequent advice to the Prime Minister is published on gov.uk.
As is set out in the Independent Adviser’s terms of reference, “Information provided to the Independent Adviser for the purposes of their functions is provided in confidence” (paragraph 4.2).”

The UK regularly discusses media freedom, the protection of journalists and the rule of law with the government and interlocutors in Malta. In October 2025, Our British High Commissioner discussed the continuing legacy of the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia and Malta's reform record with the Maltese Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister.
In March 2026, the former Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Americas, visited Malta and gave an interview to the Times of Malta in which he called for full implementation of the public inquiry recommendations. He met journalists, civil society representatives, and the Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation to discuss media freedom and the implementation of the inquiry's recommendations. After the September 2026 verdict in the trial of the individual accused of commissioning the assassination, the UK and Finland, as Co-chairs of the Media Freedom Coalition, note the outcome and called for the full and timely implementation of the public inquiry's recommendations.
Our High Commission in Malta consistently supports independent media in Malta. As part of this work, we have brought together Maltese journalists and journalism students to learn from the Bureau of Investigative Journalism. We have also facilitated an annual Daphne Caruana Galizia memorial lecture to highlight the importance of press freedom.

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether Ministerial meetings with Labour Together and Think Labour are classified as meetings with external organisations that should be listed in quarterly transparency returns.
The Ministerial Code sets out principles for Ministers on meetings with external organisations. Supplementary guidance published by the Cabinet Office requires where a Minister meets an external organisation or individual in an official capacity, details of these meetings must be declared.
This guidance can be accessed at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ministers-overseas-travel-and-meetings-publication-guidance/ministers-overseas-travel-and-meetings-publication-guidance.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) handles any reports it receives relating to cyber incidents in confidence and so it would not be appropriate to comment on any such engagements.
More generally, however, defending democracy is a priority for the NCSC. It engages regularly with organisations and individuals involved in our democratic and electoral processes to provide expert advice on cyber security best practice and to help raise resilience in the face of rising online threats.

Special Advisers are required to comply with the Special Adviser Code of Conduct at all times and are required to make declarations on meetings with senior media figures in line with published transparency guidance.
Where a Special Adviser accompanies their Minister to an official meeting with a senior media figure, the Special Adviser's attendance does not need to be separately recorded as the Minister will be the main attendee. Where an 'informal' lobbying approach is granted time or resource by Government, it should result in a diarised engagement and therefore be recorded.
